Choose Product A if you play left-handed; choose Product B only if the listing description clarifies it is also available in left-handed orientation, or if you play right-handed.

Are these good for metal and hard rock?
Yes—both are James Hetfield signature models optimized for thrash and metal with tight low-end response, high-output active pickups, and aggressive tone suited to drop tunings and high-gain work.
What does B-Stock mean for price and condition?
B-Stock means the guitar is new and fully functional but has minor cosmetic blemishes from the factory, offering a significant discount compared to new retail pricing while preserving all playability and tone.
